AIRINC and Topia Establish Strategic Partnership to Deliver Global Talent Mobility Solutions


CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and SAN FRANCISCO, May 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- AIRINC, the world's leading provider of advice, data, and decision making tools for global mobility, and Topia, the leader in Global Talent Mobility technology, have announced today a strategic partnership to provide an out-of-the-box global talent mobility solution for organizations to manage their assignment, relocation, business travel, remote working, and other talent mobility programs. Under this partnership, AIRINC's industry-leading domestic and international data is embedded into the Topia technology. As part of this new relationship, Topia's next-gen suite of software applications, including Topia Plan, Manage, Pay, Go, and Compass, all powered by the Topia One platform, will become available for purchase by AIRINC's existing and prospective customers directly from AIRINC.  With its well-recognized customer service, AIRINC is able to offer its customers Topia's market-leading compliance and business process automation technology platform that complements and enhances the value of their advisory and data offerings with even greater insights and workflow automation capabilities to streamline global talent mobility.

As the world looks forward and begins to prepare for life after the pandemic, the reopening of borders and global markets will necessitate a strong global talent strategy. With increasing compliance scrutiny and regulatory complexity surrounding the movement of people, having the right technology combined with thoughtful advice, data, and processes to support the deployment and effective management of talent and distributed workforces will be key to taking advantage of new opportunities wherever and whenever they arise. In fact, according to a recent Topia survey, 40% of HR teams do not have the data required for decision making.

AIRINC and Topia are partnering to help expand access to the advice, technology, and data that organizations need to tackle the global talent challenges enterprises face today. By leveraging AIRINC's deep expertise and industry-leading data integrally wrapped into Topia's modern, platform-based, and highly configurable product suite, enterprises can quickly stand up a global talent mobility platform with pre-configured workflows and standard best practices out-of-the-box.  Additionally, clients will be able to take advantage of AIRINC's services and guidance to improve their mobility programs, while AIRINC's data further enhances Topia's solutions for use in compliance and business process automation.

Topia and AIRINC both have extensive experience with serving the talent mobility needs of global firms. AIRINC's data is used by over 1000 companies to support movement of employees to over 180 locations globally. Likewise, Topia is a trusted technoloy partner to Fortune 1000 and Global 2000 companies spanning all industries and regions. The two organizations have a long history of serving joint customers, with the most recent addition being Groupe SEB, headquartered in France. 



"The future of work will require companies to leverage technology and data to bring efficiencies and enable insights and workforce analytics. Combining AIRINC's strengths in data and advice with Topia's technology will deliver value to companies seeking a holistic talent deployment solution," said Morgan Crosby, Global Growth Leader at AIRINC.

"We are excited about this strategic relationship as we have already been working together on pilot clients where the clients have seen a seamless and more impactful solution to their mobility needs with the combination of Topia's technology and our data and insights. We believe this is a unique offering in the mobility marketplace" added Steve Brink, AIRINC President & CEO.
